I have received corrections from the IRS at least twice in the years I have been doing my own taxes. Just because a person is a big financial guru does not mean they can't make a bone-head mistake.
Let's sit back and give this Administration the people it wants and some time to do something before we jump all over them.
Take an ani-acid and watch some TV, listen to the radio or whatever you do to relax. Do this for a month or so. Once they actually have done some things I am sure you pessimists and right wing lunatics will find lots that doesn't gibe with your view of reality.

He has just never released information on all of his questionable dealings and positions. This is the only common ground among Democrats - Clintons, Geither, Blagojevich, Ayers. The best is yet to come!

Humm... and what kind of mistake is intentional? Don't worry Geithner, we're ALL taking notes for our OWN defense in front of YOUR tax attorneys.
Seems the Dems just can't stomach ANY controversy from within their ranks... first it was that joker Blago appointed to be the DEMOCRAT from Illionis, and they'd ignore it even if this guy was a serial killer... He'd STILL get confirmed...

Some where in your life's journey, you have cheated in some way. Religiously there has been only man that I know of that was free of sin from birth to death. We expect our leaders; (Political, Business or Religious) to be perfect and without errror in judgement. That is a human impossiblity? IMPOSSIBLIITY."

Humble Dee - I looked in the mirror and did not see a "cheat" looking back and frankly, I would have been surprised if I did.
Sorry to break it to you, but there are many honest and good people in the world problem is, they never rarely run for public office and when they do, they're often ridiculed as "religious extremists."
Of course people aren't perfect - no one expects our elected officials to be perfect. What we expect is that they stay true to their principles, work hard, pay their taxes, not break the law, remain moral and set a good example for our children - like everyday citizens do every day. Oh and we expect our elected officials to always remember who they work for.

Another government-backed 600 bucks headed my way, maybe by this summer! Maybe I'll stop paying my mortgage and let the government bail me out. I'm lovin' this whole stimulus/bailout idea! Viva Obama - and Geithner too!
